Unlike almost any other place in the Caribbean, the Domincan Republic is a BIG island. And here’s why big is better....
Compare this to what it’s like on a small island. When you spend anymore than a week on a small island, you run out of things to do. On a small island, once you’ve checked out the beach and then toured the one small, quaint town, all that’s left to do is climb the large hill locals call a mountain. That’s pretty much it.
And on a small island prices for most things, even basic necessities, are through the roof. And getting there in the first place isn’t always convenient.
It’s different on a big island.
In the DR, you’ll never get bored. You’ll never run out of safe, friendly places to explore and enjoy. And being a big island, the DR has a big economy, meaning a more affordable cost of living.
Here, the possibilities are endless...
Big island equals big economy. In the DR, you have access to more goods and services than anywhere else in the Caribbean. Almost everything you’d buy at the supermarket back home is available here. You’re able to buy everything you’d want, from daily necessities to luxury goods.
The cost of living, especially on the North Coast, is surprisingly affordable. A couple can live comfortably here on a pensioner’s budget; for $2,000 US per
This includes the cost of real estate. Here, beautiful homes are still within reach for the typical person. Even oceanview properties in the DR are still relatively affordable. With so much coastline, much of it still undeveloped, there’s still lots of great oceanside property available for foreign buyers.
Even when you regularly visit the DR or live here, you’ll never run out of things to do. It’s such a big country, you’ll always find a new place to explore, a new restaurant to try, or new activity to enjoy.
The DR isn’t just beautiful, sandy beaches, although there are countless ones for you to visit.
There’s golfing: Choose from 26 courses across the island, many with breathtaking oceanside holes and PGA-level design and quality.
There’s water sports, including surfing, kite surfing, scuba diving and windsurfing. In fact, the North Coast is the kite surfing capital of the world.
The mountains, forests, coastal plains and jungle are an almost endless playground for you to explore, whether on foot, horseback or off road vehicle. Whatever outdoor adventure you’re looking for or are willing to try, it’s there for you.
Being a big island, the Dominican Republic has been a cultural crossroads for 500 years. Here you’ll find an exciting mix of cultures, from Spanish and Caribbean, to African, Latin American and North American.
There’s so much cultural variety for you to discover, whether you’d like to explore new music, the arts, festivals, or cuisines.
Being a big island has another advantage. Getting here is easy.
You can fly direct to the DR from several airports in the United States and Canada. There are tons of regular flights, sometimes daily, and the airlines are adding more every month.
